WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — Edward Teach Brewing announced it will close its doors after a little more than eight years in business.

In a message posted to supporters, the brewery said it has been more than a place to grab a drink, calling it a spot for first dates, trivia nights and friendships.

The brewery said it plans to mark its final day with a celebration on Feb. 15, teasing specials and a final toast with supporters.
